there are certain skills like socialising and talking to people and ( you didn’t about parents so not saying that part but try opening up to parents)
… so you 1st thing is you are blaming those skills with your looks.
2nd thing is you are completely ignoring the statistics that no one calls you OR you not getting any messages, bro/bhai I have many many friends, many are close but even I will get less messages, in-fact in most close friends group I’m the only one who will message and break the silence and initiate.
So the point i’m telling is people with work and family commitments will call you less and you are bound to become lonely, this experience is almost with everyone.
3rd , it fine yaar , its hard skill honestly to maintain a friend, I have started to loose many close friends and the circle is shortening year by year. But one thing is you will find a person with whom you will spend few months, he will be your good friend in that time period and then suddenly you will never talk to him , try bonding with such people and try to make someone your good and then close friends over the years.
